Tuition Fees, Scholarships and Bursaries

Tuition Fees

All UK universities charge tuition fees, though most UK and EU students are eligible for a tuition fee loan from the UK government, so they are able to study now and pay later. If you are eligible for a tuition fee loan, you won't have to pay any fees upfront, and you won't start paying the fees back until you're earning a reasonable income - currently set at over £25,000. The tuition fees for full-time undergraduate courses are £9,535 per year.
